    Re. Spitfire TE518

    According to my info:
    TE518 delivered by sea (not flown!) to Haifa around March 1949.
    TOC summer 1949 as serial number 2027 with 101 Sqn.
    2027 was written off 16-12-1953 when with 107 Sqn.
    From ¨AirDOC ADP 02 – Israeli Air Force 107 Squadron¨ by Shlomo Aloni (ISBN 3-935687-60-5):
    Sqn. 107 – OTU class 14 from 1-11-53 to 1-1-54:
    Undergraduate Yitzak Yalon was killed on December 16 in Spitfire (20)27 during an OTU training sortie when he collided with the instuctor Ran Sharon in Spitfire (20)58.

    Hope this helps.
